A fully-signed gravel sportive with feed stations, a medal at the line and no cut-offs. Just 56km on the forest fire roads above Glynneath, in the steep-sided South Wales valleys, in late May.
The route
A single ~56km route on mostly well-surfaced forest fire road, out from Glynneath into the valley sides and back. Elevation isn't officially published, but the steep valleys stack up an estimated 1,300m, so it climbs harder than its distance suggests.
Late-May, Glynneath
Highs around 15°C and lows around 7°C, but it has dropped to 1°C. Rain on 48% of days.
